Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.

When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank.

I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‚OK, I’m done.‘ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.
